Thread: You will always want T315 May 2014, 18:59 PM Medium armor swarm: 4-5 units vs. Heavy armor: 2 X The advantage of medium armor is the fact that they can engage many targets at the same time and when put together, have dramatically higher DPS against infantry and support weapons than heavy tanks. A heavy tank attack will be crippled if one heavy hits a mine or gets engine damaged. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T315 May 2014, 18:23 PM T3 and medium armor, when used against tigers or elefants, must be used in swarms that outnumber opposing armor at least 2:1. I personally find that the old double IS-2 strats do not work anymore. The IS-2s are too expensive and don't have the AI they used to have. Both the Elefant and the Tiger have heavily buffed pens. Stugs and P4s can't pen KV-1s reliably. The stug can stun it like everything else, though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T315 May 2014, 17:28 PM I don't use the KV-1 alone. I use them to create synergy with T-34 in the attack. If I put the KV on the front line I use Zis gun to cover it in the defense. The thing with KV-1 is the fact that different tactics have to be used with them. One or two KV-1s to hold the front/fix the enemy and T-34s as the flanking force. Like the Tiger, they are too slow to flank or perform hit & run. They have the advantage of making German T3 AT ineffective. Jump back to quoted post15 May 2014, 14:04 PMJHeartless With its recent changes it is also alot more vulnerable to Fausts. I used to enjoy the fact that it could bonunce fausts and had enough HPs to make it worth its cost. But I can routinely beat them with P4s just keep the P4 at range where the Pen drop off for the T34/76 gun cant compete. And unlike the T34 post patch it CANNOT close the distance or easily escape. Want to see comedy watch a blob of KV1s vs a single Pak 43. Point the gun away wait for the pack to get in mid range then point at them and watch them die one by one trying in vain to escape. I absolutely hate this tank this patch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T315 May 2014, 16:41 PM A perfect German commander for the post patch would probably be one that includes both osttruppen call-ins and the Tiger tank. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T315 May 2014, 13:40 PM KV-1 is good for its cost (around the same as a T-34/85) and should be employed with different strats. Unlike the soviet mediums, ts armor/HP renders German T3 moot. It has the same gun as the T-34/76. I find that it has staying power, and works well with a zis in support. It arrives early and can be deployed far forward due to its armor so a continuous front line can be maintained. It's a meatshield. It is vulnerable to paks and heavies, but what isn't?

Thread: Osttruppen Reserves - what's the point?15 May 2014, 02:27 AM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2014, 21:32 PMkorgoth Yeah 2 squads instantly at the right moment can be a game saver, I find this ability pretty good but im not a huge fan of the lottery part of it. I love the idea behind it though! I like it, as I use it to quickly re-man my support weapons, add reserves behind them, or cap. The fact that they are big squads also helps a lot. There is a 100 MP max price premium but this is more than offset by its timely benefits IME. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T314 May 2014, 21:53 PM With Soviet mediums, if you manage to get 5 of them and use them in one fist even 2 tigers and lots of soft targets can fall. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Osttruppen Reserves - what's the point?14 May 2014, 21:19 PM It is expensive but there's the time factor. You get two squads instantly and you don't have to wait to BUILD two of them. If you have a decrewed Pak, mortar, etc. you can get people on them instantly without retreating a regular 4-man squad. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: You will always want T314 May 2014, 19:17 PM The KV-1 is a very good call-in. Overall, I'm not a fan of the double T-34/85 call in (even though mark target helps) The wait is much too long. The single T-34/85 from advanced warfare is better. But both call-ins are expensive and come late. Ditto for the Sherman, except I really don't like its HP. I still think that early T-34/76s + quick call-ins for precipitous attacks are the key. The T-34/76 is the baseline armor. Then buff the tank force with the KV-1, Sherman, or T-34/85. Is-2 is too expensive for its ability (its in the same price class as the tiger but is much worse) and the KV-8 is situational. For soviets, I don't think T4 and IS-2 is worth it in many cases. For Germans, T4 is not worth it but the Tiger tank is. In: COH2 Gameplay
